A Laughable Double Standard
The Remnant Newspaper ^ | July 28, 2009 | Oliver Sykes

Posted on 07/28/2009 11:12:30 AM PDT by Ozone34

When the Duke University-lacrosse-rape story broke in the spring of 2006, it sparked massive media coverage nationwide for more than two years and endless liberal posturing about white privilege vs. a disadvantaged black woman – three Duke lacrosse players were charged with raping and kidnapping a black stripper. It all turned out to be a lie, as we now know, and the politically correct house of cards collapsed. The liberal media quickly moved on with few regrets about a rush to judgment.

Now there is another Duke University-rape story with a strong evidence trail of e-mails, photos, and videos, as well as investigative work by the FBI, an Internet Crimes Against Children task force, the State Bureau of Investigation, and police forces in Washington, D.C. and in Durham, N.C. But this time, the liberal media aren’t saying much.

Did those 88 professors take out a full page ad condemning their colleague?

This time around the MSM is doing backflips to soft peddle O and Gates.

There was another Duke rape case that the treason media barely covered because it did not support their deranged need to blame everything wrong with the world on white males.

Wendy Murphy, the lawyer representing the woman who made the 911 call to Cambridge PD, stands by her assertion that the Duke Lax players are guilty. Go figure.

The only comfort one can take is that just because that shameful excuse for broadcast news isn't talking about this doesn't mean that the world is ignorant of the situation.

Having said that it makes me sick that we have not heard one word of condemnation from those 88 professors.

“The two children adopted by Lombard are now with the North Carolina Department of Social Services. Hopefully, they will get the counseling they need and, God willing, a real mother and father to adopt them.”

That's all I pray for, abb. The rest of this situation makes me so horrified, that I don't want to think of it. Just get those two children into a decent home — I don't care if it's middle-class black or white, but somewhere there has to be some one who can tend and repair the broken.

Here's an interesting story that some may not have seen -

http://blog.beliefnet.com/crunchycon/2009/07/is-frank-lombards-religion-rel.html

"As it turns out, Lombard was -- until just a few days ago -- a veteran member of the vestry at the Episcopal Church of the Advocate in Chapel Hill, N.C., a progressive, activist congregation on gay issues that has been actively scrubbing most signs of his existence from its website [Note: the church appears to have restored Lombard's name to its website, now listing him as "inactive" on the vestry -- RD] . For those not familiar with Episcopal polity, the vestry is the church's controlling board. Being on the vestry is similar to being on the parish council, in a Catholic or Orthodox context, or on the board of deacons, in a Baptist context."

"Now, here's the journalistic question that we will discuss: Do you think that journalists would be interested if you had a similar criminal case and the accused was a deacon or board member in an evangelical or Catholic congregation that takes strong stands on these kinds of hot-button social issues? "

Wendy Murphy is the feminist version of Henry Louis Gates. Every male is guilty of sexism at minimum, and rape/murder at worst.

She also claims that women NEVER lie about rape.

I hit the remote when she comes on.

Dare I mention that she is involved in that case now? Believe it...or not!
